It&#39;s fun and the kids are amazed at what they see. It makes them look at the world in a whole different way.Grammie O Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711607646097689874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-41808554366241383292018-09-06T20:03:02.198-05:002018-09-06T20:03:02.198-05:00I so agree with you Rose.

When the microscope comes out the grandchildren are at his knees waiting to see what he&#39;s brought to show them and then he sends them outside to look for little things to slip in there. It&#39;s amazing what they find.Grammie O Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711607646097689874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-40404918024467283342018-08-26T21:40:26.412-05:002018-08-26T21:40:26.412-05:00I remember getting my first microscope as a kid, I...I remember getting my first microscope as a kid, I loved seeing what things looked like under it.

I love sharing the curious world of a kid. Adults forget how to play.

I would say around the age of 10 is a great age. Younger than that and they don&#39;t yet have the concentration needed. But it certainly is a fun gift to share with them.Grammie O Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711607646097689874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-9450014653821917982018-08-22T17:40:37.412-05:002018-08-22T17:40:37.412-05:00That brings back memories!

He can still recall the type of slide (skin, lung, liver, etc.) and the stains used to make them look so surreal. The kids are in for a whole lot of fun when we get the chance to be with them again.

Children are so adaptable and love anything &quot;out of the ordinary&quot;, at least in my experience. It helps to have adults that are also fascinated by the unusual.<br />Grammie O Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711607646097689874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-53338989624274754532018-08-22T09:43:19.380-05:002018-08-22T09:43:19.380-05:00My son loved his microscope when he was a youngste...My son loved his microscope when he was a youngster. At the time my sister-in-law was a cytotechnologist and she sent him some actual slides she had put together to examine. He was thrilled with getting &#39;real&#39; slides from a real lab. :) I agree that toys like this encourage curiosity in real-life occupations. One never knows what will spark a life-long interest.Wednesday Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125647693828663780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-51736538856470672412018-08-22T09:35:10.330-05:002018-08-22T09:35:10.330-05:00What an excellent idea for kids!
